Kimmel slammed for 'kill everyone in China' joke

More than 1,000 picket ABC headquarters in Burbank

(LATIMES) — More than 1,000 people picketed ABC’s headquarters in Burbank on Saturday to protest a Jimmy Kimmel segment that joked that the United States should “kill everyone in China.”

Burbank police said they responded to the protest in the 2300 block of Riverside Drive after some demonstrators went into a restricted area. However, police said the protest was peaceful and no one was arrested.

The protest was part of a nationwide move backed by Chinese American organizations against the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” recurring segment called “Kids' Table.” Similar protests were planned for Saturday at other ABC locations.
